I ran into Barnes & Noble last weekend to see if they had the new Romantic Homes magazine yet. They didn't have it but as I was leaving this book caught my eye. I ran over and couldn't believe that it was a bargain priced book for $7.98 (originally $24.95) It is so beautiful!

Here is a cottage on Martha's Vineyard. I probably walked right in front of this one while I was there last summer.

I love this room. What a view! This picture didn't turn out very well but this room is stunning!

This is one of the more elegant rooms...very pretty. I really love this room. Look at the valance on the window. I love how it's not put at the very top of the window. There are different chapters in this book for each different style of cottage decorating. I think this came from the Rustic chapter. I love the toile wallpaper in the dining room and all the topiary. Oh, and that black and white check floor. I've always wanted a kitchen with that.

OH, what a great book! I have to head over there this afternoon and see if they have it at the B&N here! So cute! I also love the toile paper--I'm about to move, so maybe I can do that in my next house! And I do have a checkerboard floor in my kitchen. I did it with black and white press-on tiles I got at the Dollar Tree 3 for $1! Love your blog! ~A :-)

I'm looking for the book too. Looks fantastic. I also joined the homestyle book club and have already ordered books and books and the lovely journal you have. I look forward to seeing what you are up to each day.

Cindy, that is a great book! (don't you just love the B&N sale area? my son and I haunt that one). I especially love all of the toile and that black and gold dining room, and that B&W floor is wonderful! It reminds me of some of the kitchens in the homes built here early last century. Very pretty photos! I'm glad that you found such a fun goodie!
